Large tree in parkway and in close proximity to structure. 2. City sidewalk is cracked significantly. 3. City sidewalk has heaved upward and is sloping. 4. Concrete entry stairs and landing slope towards the structure approximately 2.5 degrees. 5. Wooden half wall at stairs tilted inward towards structure approximately 2.2 degrees. Notes The above item(s) could be attributed to a heaving condition caused by the root system of the adjacent tree. Subfloor Area Items Noted 1. Three cracks were noted in the concrete perimeter foundation at the front of the structure. Notes While undeterminable it is possible the root system of the adjacent tree could be a contributing factor to these cracks. S mm�ar The existing concrete stairs, landing and wooden half wall are sloping and tilting towards the structure. This is apparently being caused by a heaving condition created by the root system of an adjacent tree. The rotation of the stairs and landing could be putting undue stress on the foundation and framing of the structure. The slope towards the structure could also introduce excess water to the foundation and wood framing area. While beyond the scope of this inspection the 2.5 degree slope may exceed allowed tolerances. Recommendations 1. Consult with a structural engineer in regards to potential stress being created on the structure by the rotation of the stairs and landing. 2. Consult with a structural engineer or architect in regards to maximum slope allowed for stairs and landings. 3. Consult with an arborist about removal of the tree and root system. 4. Consult with a structural engineer about any necessary repairs. H � N ■p� N n � � W � E•yiv Str�mn Appmuimam Appoximom ApproaimoB } l a Cmc In Crock In Or Creafion Of q.

Needless to say, should anybody be in the drop zone at the time of one of these failures, the results could be disastrous. To avoid a repeat of the recent past (a large eucalyptus branch falling and totaling a city vehicle) or any greater incident of personal or property damage, it would be best to replace the existing trees with something less risky and more manageable. Additionally, our neighbor (AT&T) has offered to assist with funding of removal. I will attach to this email contact information for the AT&T representative that I spoke with. Thank you for your time and consideration.

PROJECT ADDRESS: 71 Palomar BY: Rachel Cohen, Associate Planner Phone Number: (805) 781-7574 e-mail: rcohen(a),slocityorg FILE NUMBER: ARCH-2193-2015/EID-4091-2016 FROM: Ron Combs, City Arborist SITE DATA Applicant I LR Development Group Representative Thom Jess, Architect Historic Status Master List Zoning R-4 (High Density Residential) General Plan High Density Residential Site Area 57,500 square feet (1.32 acres) Environmental Status Mitigated Negative Declaration SUMMARY/BACKGROUND A new 33 -unit multi -family residential project is being proposed on the site of the Historic Sandford House located at 71 Palomar. As part of the review process an Initial Study of environmental impact and Addendum were completed for the project in June 2016 and circulated for public review. This document included an arborist report from A&T Arborists (Attachment 1). During the initial public hearings of the project, staff received public testimony regarding environment impacts of the project, including the removal of trees from the site. The Community Development Director determined more information was needed and a third party consultant was brought in to provide additional analysis. An independent, certified arborist reviewed the proposed project, visited the site and prepared another arborist report (Attachment 2, Rincon Arborist Report). The additional information has been included into the updated Mitigated Negative Declaration of Environmental Impact (IS/MND). 1.0 COMMITTEE'S PURVIEW The Tree Committee is being asked to receive public comment and provide individual input to staff and the ARC on the environmental document (IS/MND) and two arborist reports during the 30 -day public review period for the proposed project located at 71 Palomar. ARCH -2193-2015/ EID-4091-2016 71 Palomar Avenue Page 2 2.0 PROJECT INFORMATION 2.1 Site Information/Setting The subject property is located at the corner of Palomar Avenue and Luneta Drive just south of Foothill Boulevard and west of Broad Street within the R-4 (High Density Residential) zone. The project site is 57,500 square feet (1.32 acres) and contains the Master List Historic Sandford House as well as a secondary residential building, and a remodeled garage with adjacent carport. The majority of the site is undeveloped and includes mature trees present throughout the site. The site is accessed by two driveways along Luneta Drive and a pedestrian access from Palomar Avenue. The proposed site is bounded to the north, east and west by R-4 residential developments and single family, R-1 units to the south. 2.2 Project Description The project proposes the rehabilitation, adaptive reuse, and repositioning of the Master List Sandford house as part of a 33 -unit multi -family residential project (Attachment 3, Project Plans). The project includes: • Removal of the non -historic additions to the main structure; • Removal of the non -historic garage, carport and the secondary residential building; • Repositioning the house approximately 33 feet east and 16 feet south of its current location; • Rehabilitation of the historic structure and adaptive reuse for the proposed project's leasing office and amenity space (study room, fitness room, etc.); • Removal of 55 of the 59 existing trees on the site and replanting 34 trees; • Construction of six apartment buildings (four, 2 -story structures; two 4 -story structures built into the hill - all with a maximum height of 35 feet) with a total of 33 residential units (five studios, sixteen two-bedroom apartments, and twelve three bedroom apartments); • 63 parking spaces and 66 bicycle parking spaces within a two-level garage beneath the two north apartment buildings, accessed from Palomar Avenue; and • Road improvements to Luneta Drive including two-way traffic and raised medians. 3.0 DISCUSSION ITEMS Staff is asking the Tree Committee to receive public comment and provide individual feedback on the Mitigated Negative Declaration of Environmental Impact (IS/MND) and the supplemental arborist reports (Attachment 4, Mitigated Negative Declaration of Environmental Impact). 4.0 NEXT STEPS The project will continue through the Development Review process which includes the following steps: 1. The Mitigated Negative Declaration of Environmental Impact will close for public review on December 17, 2016. 2. Architectural Review Committee (ARC) Hearing (held after the 30 -day public review of the initial study) on January 9, 2017. ARCH -2193-2015/ EID4091-2016 71 Palomar Avenue Page 3 5.0 ATTACHMENTS 1.
